DURHAM - North Carolina freshman wing Leslie McDonald is in street clothes at Cameron Indoor Stadium and will miss tonight's game with Duke because of a strained hamstring.

McDonald is the ninth Tar Heel to miss at least one game with an injury this season. He is averaging 3.5 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, and scored a season-high 16 points a week ago at Wake Forest.

McDonalds

Oh..Now I get it..a player named McDonald...I thought that all the McDonald's All-Americans were gonna take the night off.....whoops...looks like they did, anyway!!!!!

G-GATOR--REDPUSSY-69

yea! 16 dressed out but 4 of the 16 play like girls!ok, go duke!!!

Well

two players who wont be back next year, Ginyard and Deon, won't be missed. What a pathetic excuse for senior leadership despite injuries.

UNC-98-AKA LOSER!!!

I GUESS NOW U UNDERSTAND WHY U ARE CALLED A LOSER 82-50, LEADERSHIP! WHERE WAS OL ROY AND HIS LEADERSHIP? COACH K KICKED HIS A-S AGAIN , OK, GO DUKE!!! THERE WENT YOUR NIT BID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's tough..

missing so many players throughout the year. You know what they say...play with who you've got. I'll just be glad to see this season end. I must admit I kind of knew it would be a long season, but I didn't think it would be this long. I totally forgot Davis was out for the year. I guess I just got tired of keepin up.

I see the results

of the Duke-Carolina game this year lacking a true shooter from the wing in this game. I wonder if the Tar Heels understand that some of them don't belong at UNC. It's not the player that I would recruit out there because they have the scorer potential abilities. It's a wack first half that I never seen at UNC since I been watching the Carolina-Duke Rivalry Games....I would fire the recruiting committees because that's not it either. No leadership at point guard equal a true losing season. The Devils will do anything to seal a victory stand guard at the Dean Dome or where ever you go...I've seen my hamstring snap into at a practice but forgot to keep playing because I didn't drink a certain beer beverage...

this game

is a joke.

WTF?

why is it I cannot come in here and NOT see where a UNC guy is hurt and is not playing or may not be playing? 

jeez.  only 16 guys dress out!

It's tough man.  Looks like

It's tough man.  Looks like UNC's b-ball team is drinking the same water as State's football team has been drinking the past couple of years.  I guess that's why I enjoy playing the video games so much...State can actually win and my players rarely get injured!
